Tu Esencia
Aquel sinsonte que se posaba en el balcon, apenas trina. Al no escuchar tú voz sutil cantando sin secar. Y esos rosales que ayer regabas con delirio, hoy se marchitan. Pues ya de ti no queda ni la fragancia de tu esencia en nuestro hogar....

The Decrepit Heart Remembers
I once loved so fully, I cracked open beneath the weight of someone who now feels like fog. He was real— once. But time, and the soft grind of sorrow, wore the shape of him away. Still, my heart thumps, a decrepit engine, rattling on with broken rhythm— every beat a memory I wish I didn’t still want. I ache to return, knowing the knives that wait. I am a snake coiled against fire, slithering back toward pain with my eyes wide open. Even in this ruin, something stirs— a...

Only yesterday all was fine Loving every second of time Suddenly I'm lonesome and blue Knowing that I am losing you I need a helping hand to hold From someone with a heart of gold Please send your love from you to me When you do, act naturally....

Her Name, Mine
We sat where the orchard meets the dusk, Legs folded like unopened letters. She laughed, and the wind— Traitorous — carried it straight through me. There was dirt beneath our nails, Scratched from some old pretending, And sap on our skin like guilt. We called it a game, that closeness, Two girls learning the language Of not touching. She wore her hair long, like mine— A...

Let It Be
I gave my heart, it bled so deep, Tried to hold on, but couldn’t keep, Nights were cold, tears fell like rain, Whispered low, let go the pain. I searched for love, but it slipped free, Flickers lost where light should be, Through all the hurt, I learned to see— Maybe sometimes you just gotta let it be....

Fire
I am a wildfire, burning alone in the middle of nowhere I wish I were a meadow in the middle of somewhere enchanted. my devotion was the ocean’s depth never-ending, hard to reach, but not impossible. I could devour with love, with care, with happiness— yet some found me unlovable, hard to cope with, hard to give up something for. still, I held on to that gust of wind, my flickering hope to find someone worth...

Nine Times to Die
Like a cat, I've nine times to die — and love has taken seven. Once, when you said my name like it was a question. Twice, when you answered it with silence. Thrice, when you loved someone else in front of me like I was made of stone instead of soul. I keep returning — from wreckage, from wreck, from wreck again. You don't know how many lives I’ve lost just staying alive next...

What If Forever Was Never Meant to Be
What if forever was never meant to be? Just a story we told ourselves to sleep at night, A myth we wrapped around broken promises So they wouldn’t hurt as much in the morning. I loved you like a secret — One I couldn't tell myself out loud. You were my friend, But I whispered prayers hoping you’d look at me With the...

I dreamed that snow fell on the hill, while far below the sea was still; it covered paths that we once knew when I was so in love with you. I saw the bridge where we would stand, lips pressed together, hand in hand, where we sought shelter from the rain when my heart smiled and felt no pain. But as I wakened...

Premium Member Here Comes the Sun
You're lost in thoughts of Yesterday. I'd like to drive Yer Blues away. Always, Across the Universe, Let it Be, do not cry or curse. "Life is a Long and Winding Road", I say, Because when love has showed the Rain will go away, dear one. You will then say, "Here Comes the Sun"....

Betrayal
I stood on the gravel pathway, feeling the wind gently kiss my face, and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms, mingling with the air. My hands went up to my mouth, covering my gasp, as I saw him kneel down on one knee, a velvet box in his hands. A gentle smile adorned his face, as he looked...

Not Insane
I'm not insane. I swear to God, I just wanted to help her. To reach out and save her. I grabbed her, to urge her to move. That's when I recognized the terror on her face. She was scared, just like me. I didn't like that. Don't be scared. I'm just trying to help. "P-please...don't." I sighed as she stammered out those words when...

Growing old
Why is Old Age so Lonely? Why is it such a bore? Why because you're getting Old no-one wants you anymore As a Mother and a Wife you give your very best, Perhaps it's just because they think you need a rest. Once children ran riot in your home, Now you'll be really lucky if they pick up...
